Project Proposal

Create a plugin which performs "color sonification," using the colors of a video to modulate an accompanying piece of music/audio. The RGB values of the average color of each frame will be used as inputs into audio effects, effectively creating a parametric mapping between video color and audio manipulation.

Structure & Timeline

  1. (By End of Week 4): Create script (most likely in Python) which takes a video file as input and outputs three "audio" tracks to be imported into a DAW for use with plugin.
    • Each frame of the video will be subjected to a "color averaging" algorithm
    • Average color will be broken down into its RGB values, one value per track.
    • For initial purposes, restricting project to 24fps video and 48000Hz sampling rate for best compatibility
  2. (By End of Week 5): Design a plugin that uses a single track's information as a "side chain" to control multiband EQ setting specified by user.
    For example, the "Green" track's values might control how much of the EQ'ing is applied at any time.
    • Will likely build off of Faust EQ demo.
